EYES OF DIFFERENT FOCUS.
As many eyes, on careful examln

is highly necessary that such eyes
should be fitted by a competent opti-

ophthalmeter cannot be relied upon in
such cases.

A PRETTY PLACE.
Cedar Falls, Iowa, as Seen by the
Ledger Correspondence Beau.
tiiul Spot Indeed.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, June 5.-Just
at this season Of the year, Northern
Iowa and Southern Minnesota are at
their best. Notwithstanding the fact
that there has been no rain in this
section of the state for over a year,
everybody seems happy, at least those
who who live in this pretty little city.
A great portion of its inhabitants
work in the manufacturing establish
ments, which are so numerous in this,
as we'll as other towns on the Cedar
river, in both Iowa and Minnesota.
Here, running night and day, are
immense paper, barb wine, pump,
oat meal, pottery, flour and canning
works, besides other con-
Germs Of less Importance. Though
mills are so numerous here, only two
smoke stacks can be seen in the town
as all the power is derived from &C.
dar river, a fine stream, which is also
u%nequaled for boating and fishing.
Picnic parties from other towns
and cities come here during the sum,
mer months, and spend the time
blissfully swinging in hammocks, or
fishing or hunting on the Bluffs
The Bluffs are directly southeast of
the city and o%verhang the pretty Ce.
dar River, while at their base runs a
line # railroad, and as the trains 90
by far below the happy picnicer, the
scene afforded is a splendid one.
The LEDGER correspondent spent a
few hours in this charming place in a
charming manner, and witnessed a
novel affair in the way of u Danish
jubilee, there being a great many high
class Danes living in this portion of
the state. The Danes seem never to
grow too old TO indulge in childIike,
outdoor sports, their games being
taken part in by old as we'll as young,
minister, editor and school teacher,
all mixed up with the children.
Their plays ale always accompanied
10y lively singing in their own lar
guage. and to an American are ex-
tremeIy amusing.
The climate of this part of the
state does not vary much from that
of Central Missouri, though peaches
and fruit of that character do not
grow here. The flowers are just be-
ginning to become plentiful, a great
many roses, of almost endless varie-
ty being raised here, and these flow
ers seem to be most admired of all.
One variety in particular, see by the
correspondent for the first time, is
particularly striking. 1t is perfectly
round, pink in color, snd altogether,
is q rare flower. With their manu-
factories, broad, hard and magnif-
cent streets, beautiful homes, q fine
country, and nearly every magma
Bile improvement the residents OF
Cedar Falls cannot be but happy.

IMMIGRATION PROSPECTS.
A BOON AT HAND.

The ADVANCE has interviewed our
real estate dealers Except Mr.. M0ulton
who is confined to his house in the
country and is pleased to learn that
the prospect for brisk immigration is
very good. Inquiries are numerous
from new men and u large number
who purchased land last year are now
making arrangements to come on and
occupy the lands.
Shell T. Smith are now sending out
information and answering many in.
quir,es. They have about $4,000 .cres
Of choice land TO sell and parties com.
ing in should take look ut tracts on
their lists.
W. Aagaard, agent for Frederiksen
Il Co., informs US that the prospect is
better than ever before. A great
many actual settlers are coming this
spring. Scores of them bought last
year or the year before, and they will
soon be here with their teams and will
begin building and preparing for open
ing farms. A good many wish to rent
farms with houses on until they can
build and start their own places, and
parties having farms to rent should
see MIR. Aagaard.
Mr.. A. also informs US the house Of
Frederiksen s. Co. are in better trim
than ever for pushing their business.
They have As men at the desk and 700
local agents. and will send out two ex-
cursions \ week. The fare for round
trip from Chicago to Worthington will
be only $40.
Other good points are that they are
doing better in Minnesota than in
Kansas. and that the inquiry is now
largely for improved farms. Farmers,
he says, should demand good prices for
their lands. for they are worth it. and
men with means are coming.
C.. NJ. Brooks, of the firm of Johnson
II Brooks, informs u3 that inquiries
are numerous, and that this is to be
y year of actual settlement on the
lands. H. learns from parties in Iowa
with whom lie is in communication,
that the same is true there. an unusual
inquiry and many settlers co ming to
take possession of lands previously
bought.

Inns been to Il large extent sold to par

There is Il prospect that the population

The following tracts have been sold

The banks also, which deal more or
less in lands, all report brisk in
quiry.
Altogether the outlook is excellent
for the coming season Hundreds of
actual settlers will move to the lands
of this county and part of Jackson
mostly tributary to Worthington.
